Abstract
Occurrences of disaster lead to problems in information retrieval about damaged land properties as it is a time-consuming task, and one that entails a lot of bureaucracy. In this paper we will discuss a specific method using blockchain technology and specialized equipment to collect and register land property information. That information is critical for individuals, governments as well as insurance companies for evaluating risk associated with disasters. For reasons of data integrity and transparency, all of this information is available in a form on a public blockchain ledger.
